It seems these days that everyone is collecting. Big or small objects, cheap or expensive, rare or commonplace-almost anything is collectible.
But
what about the truly rare and expensive items?
Every day of every year someone discovers, buys or sells one of a kind
or limited in number antiques, memorabilia and art objects.
A
plethora of TV shows, websites, blogs, videos, literature, stores, auction
houses, clubs and more about collecting are everywhere.
Never
in the history of collecting have so many avenues for collecting been available.
Authors
Michael A. and Marla K. McLeod have compiled a wonderful new book called ‘This Day In Collecting History’,
published by Schiffer Books, that
breaks down collectible treasures sold on each day of the year.
Spanning
back decades the book chronicles incredible memorabilia and treasures that were
sold for small and large fortunes on specific days of the year.
Three
hundred and sixty five days of treasures are showcased with full color and
archival photos accompanied by informative text. Everything from movie memorabilia, sports
items, furniture, art and dozens of other antique and collectible genres are represented.
It’s
a fascinating book that provides hours of reading and viewing pleasure. You may even learn something along the way.
